<p>Blakeleigh is a feminine name that represents a modern elaboration of the name Blake, combining it with the popular '-leigh' suffix. Blake itself originated as an Old English surname meaning "dark" or "black," originally referring to someone with dark hair or complexion or someone who lived near a black stream or hillside. The addition of "leigh" (a variation of "lee" meaning meadow or clearing) creates a distinctly feminine version with a contemporary feel. Blakeleigh emerged during the 2000s-2010s trend of creating longer, more elaborate girls' names from traditionally masculine or surname sources. The name fits with similar popularized constructions like Brinkleigh or Oakleigh. While still relatively uncommon, Blakeleigh appeals to parents seeking a modern, feminine-sounding name with the familiar root of Blake but a more elaborate and distinctive presentation.</p>
